I did the text install but will try the gui which works for me but I like the text better. I suspect I will get what the others have reported with qt problems being mostly solved.BTW it seems that VLwifi snuck ndiswrapper in as the environment to use the wl module. Running VLwifi that first time (after removing the ssb module which is incorrectly substituted on my machine when loading the bcmwl5 XP drivers) must've had all the other needed input stored somewhere as it found the hardware and started everything up without asking for IP, passphrase, SSID, etc. Anyway it's nice not having to be wired all the time.BTW, I can hibernate if I drop down to init 2, one of the few bad things about nvidia.Back in a few while I reload rc2.

Can I make a plea to have the old /sbin/vinstallpkg back? It handled upgrades or base installs, without my having to think about whether I was trying to upgrade an existing package or install a new one. With any of the 6.0 variants, I keep forgetting to use upgrade or reinstall from the Thunar context menu, so I end up with duplicate entries in /var/log/packages or errors. The 5.9 version was (IMHO) much more user friendly.

For some reason (not yet known to me) things have slowed down considerably with this install particularly programs starting up after selected from the "start" menu. I tried VirtualBox from the menu and after several seconds I started it from the cli. After several more seconds I had two instances of VB! The same with FireFox. As for the many qt problems all is well seemingly as libqt-mt.so.3 and libqt-mt.so.3.3 are in the "right place".
